Bitumen VG30 to India market for road construction

Bitumen VG30 stands out as one of the most stable and trusted paving grades used worldwide, and Basekim proudly supplies high-quality VG30 to buyers who need consistent performance in demanding road projects. Since contractors rely on materials that behave predictably under different traffic and temperature conditions, this grade gives them the durability and strength they expect. Also, because it delivers excellent binding power and improved resistance to cracking, it has become a preferred choice in highways, heavy-traffic zones, and hot-weather regions.

What Bitumen VG30 Is and Why It Matters

Bitumen VG30 belongs to the viscosity grade bitumen family. Instead of being classified by penetration results alone, it is graded based on viscosity at specific temperatures. Consequently, engineers get a clear understanding of how the material performs under real pavement conditions. VG30 behaves with a viscosity similar to Penetration Grade 60/70, yet it offers more controlled and reliable flow properties, especially under heavy wheel loads.

Furthermore, the grade delivers excellent adhesion between aggregates, which helps reduce stripping and improves pavement life. Because of its strong temperature stability, it keeps its structure firm in hotter climates while still maintaining flexibility when temperatures change.

Key Properties of VG30

To help buyers evaluate the product correctly, these are the main technical characteristics normally associated with VG30:

• Viscosity at 135°C: High and stable, ensuring proper coating during mixing.

• Viscosity at 60°C: Around 2400–3600 Poise depending on supplier.

• Penetration: Typically similar to 60/70 range.

• Softening Point: About 48–56°C.

• Flash Point: Above industry minimum for safe handling.

• Ductility: Strong and durable to resist cracking.

• Density: Balanced for smooth mixing and pumping.

These values may vary slightly depending on refinery origin, yet the performance remains consistent within the VG30 standard.

Why Contractors Prefer VG30 in Hot Regions

When temperatures rise, standard penetration grades sometimes soften too much and lose shape under heavy loads. Bitumen VG30 resists this problem. For example, in tropical countries and Middle-Eastern climates, pavements built with VG30 remain stable even during extremely hot summer months. Additionally, the grade works very well for highways and city roads where traffic pressure never stops.

Since VG30 keeps its viscosity controlled, it reduces rutting, bleeding, and deformation. As a result, maintenance costs drop sharply over time.

Applications of Bitumen VG30

Bitumen VG30 is widely used in:

• Asphalt road construction

• Dense Bituminous Macadam (DBM)

• Bituminous Concrete (BC)

• Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA)

• Surface dressing

• Patching and repair works

• Highway and airport runway paving

• Rural road development

• Industrial pavement surfacing

Because the grade blends smoothly with aggregates, production plants achieve higher efficiency and fewer temperature-related issues during mixing.

How VG30 Performs During Mixing and Laying

Contractors often mention that VG30 mixes quickly and coats aggregates evenly, which improves compaction. Since viscosity remains stable, it flows perfectly through pumps and pipelines without causing blockage. Moreover, it tolerates long transportation times from the mixing plant to the job site, especially in hot weather, where other grades may over-soften.

During laying, the asphalt mat becomes smooth, uniform, and easy to finish. As the pavement cools, VG30 retains enough flexibility to handle early traffic while staying strong enough to support heavy loads.
